Executive Summary
This Application Note presents a comprehensive reference design for deploying 5G NR Standalone (SA) systems using a hybrid open-source software stack that combines the srsRAN radio access network components with the OpenAirInterface (OAI) Core Network.
This setup operates on NI/Ettus USRP radios, including the B210, providing a practical and cost-effective platform for end-to-end 5G experimentation.
The configuration supports full 5G SA mode, enabling complete evaluation of the protocol stack — from the physical (PHY) layer through to the core network.
